O-Kay... one other exercise you may want to add to your daily regimen is a breathing exercise... in slow through the nose, hold a couple seconds, out slower through your mouth. All while trying to clear your mind and calm your nerves. Do that twenty times.. seriously. Daily at least.
I don’t know you at all, but you seem to be in a pressure-cooker environment of late, virtually the only sane person in a sea of increasingly antagonistic idiots. I am NOT “making excuses for” them, but understanding where they’re coming from may help you to keep things in perspective a little better. These people are likely scared, depressed, nearing their breaking points and now - if where you are is anything like the States- they’re hearing that a super-killer-even-worse-deadly variant is right around the corner. The light they saw at the end of the tunnel for their freedom (from their self-imposed mental prison) is about to be extinguished and they’re reacting to their own terror.
One person cannot be expected to prevail over a culture of weak-minded people while very evil forces are orchestrating this sick game of societal abuse. You don’t need to go to that gym (and it sounds like a blessing in disguise for you in a way) and you don’t need your particular job in SK. Consider the possibility of returning there in the future when sanity prevails again. It’s not what you’d planned to do, but sometimes we don’t understand why we were set on our paths until we reach a destination.
Another “exercise“ (of sorts) that you may benefit from is to sit down and make a list of all the negatives you’re currently contending with in your life. Write down all the good things in another section, but definitely write down all the crap. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with life and it helps to step back and understand the scope of our challenges. Then move things off the list that aren’t that critical and see what’s left, what you need to deal with and how you might best do so. Moving back to SA for a while might be your best option right now.
This has not been an easy time for most people and for varying reasons. You’re not the only one reaching the end of your frayed rope, but I truly believe we’ll all be able to look back at this time even five years in the future as a remarkable time to have been alive. Try to keep yourself centered and calm. You’ll get through this period of time as we all will, even if “battered and bruised” (figuratively speaking) and emerge stronger for your challenges. Keep the faith.
